Looks like it’s going to be cold there for this one hopefully the Lions will at least score some tries in spite of the conditions.
Pity Stuart Hogg is out of the tour now after picking up the injury in the lsst game. He hss some cuts around his eye but the real damage is a broken bone there. Was a very unfortunate injury he picked up chasing his kick running into Connor Murray’s elbow, looked quite groggy after it.
Looks a decent Highlanders team. BIL might struggle . . .
@ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Hi GoBokkeAndIreland especially in the backline some good players for Highlanders although missing the Smiths. Not the best pack for the Lions but even so think they should be too strong upfront for the Highlanders and there is quite a strong Lions bench with forwards.
If Warburton has a good game he should nail his test starting position especially as he is captain.
@ Bullscot:
Hi Bully.
I agree. Should have said – despite lacking some of their best players, STILL looks a decent Highlanders team.
I think it’ll be a good game. Wish I wasnt at work.
Lions players out on the field!
Landers players also out… now for the Landers “Haka”!
@ GoBokkeAndIreland:
Last few days on the beach so can’t really justify taking time out from the family to sit and watch the game. If it is wet cold and windy then may be scrappy at times.
Oh well some of you okes have to work some of the time
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Lions!
Landers attacking harrrddddd!!
Landers penalty in front… easy shot!

26 & 27 @ Bullscot:
I was scathing against the Lions in the 1st 2 games, but they stepped up hugely against the Saders… and today’s game is a humdinger!
Lions penalty, to relieve some pressure…
Some key injuries happening… Courtney Lawes off injured and Malakai Fekitoa went for a head assessment for the Landers!
